I want to upgrade the RAM from the 12GB the desktop came with to 32GB or higher if possible.  I need to know whether this upgrade is possible and if so what exact spec RAM do I need to buy?

@mominkhalil,

 

Your HP Envy model 700-430qe (J6N60AV) can be fitted with up to 4 x 8GB of DDR3 PC3-12800, 1600 MHz, Non ECC, Unbuffered, DIMM (UDIMM), 240-pin RAM sticks.

 

I would recommend dual rank (2Rx8) RAM, such as this 4x8GB RAM kit: TEAMGROUP Elite DDR3 16GB Kit (2x8GB) 1600MHz (PC3-12800) CL11 Unbuffered Non-ECC 1.5V UDIMM 240 Pin..., or (4x8GB): SAMSUNG Samsung DDR3-1600 8GB512Mx8 CL11 Samsung Chip Memory / M378B1G73QH0-CK0 / at Amazon.com.

 

Please be reminded that identical RAM -same brand, model and capacity, will yield best RAM performance.

 

Kind Regards,

@mominkhalil,

 

In order to provide you with the answer, it would be helpful to know what model PC you're referring to.

Apologies, since I was on the support page of the PC , I assumed the machine make and model were implied.  My desktop is HP Envy model 700-430qe.
